PARIS, June 24-In the chamber of depu-
ties MN Dreyfus and Wickersheimer have
jointly introduced a bill providing for the in
Fiction of certain penalti IS upon foreigners
residing in France who are members of anti
French societies in their own Or other coun
tries. The bill created quite a furry in the
chamber, and its debate will doubtless pro
woke some very fiery and incorporate
speeches. The bill is aimed solely at Ger
mans and designed to effect the ultimate
wholesale expulsion of Germans from France
upon the slightest of pretexts The measure
is so obviously provocation Of German re
taliation that it is doubtful if the government
will countenance it, and it is certain to be re
jected on a division.
